M-Audio Delta TDIF [53/58] Troubleshooting tips for frequently asked questions

Troubleshooting Tips for Frequently Asked

Questions

Problem: No Sound.

Possible Cause 1: The Delta TDIF hardware or software device

drivers are not properly installed. See the installation sections of this

manual for further information.

Possible Cause 2: There is a resource conflict between the Delta

TDIF and another device in your computer. Check the Delta TDIF

configuration (Address, IRQ) against those of the other installed devices.

If necessary, change the settings for the one or more of the devices.

Possible Cause 3: Your application software has not been properly

configured to use the Delta TDIF as its audio output device.

Possible Cause 4: Misrouted outputs in the Delta Control Panel.

Check the Delta Control Panel’s Patchbay/Router page to verify output

routing assignments. Also, make sure that if the output is routed from

the digital mixer, that the mixer’s faders, solo and mute controls are set

up properly.

Possible Cause 5: Improper connections of the audio accessories.

Verify that the Delta TDIF analog audio outputs are properly connected to

a mix deck or external mixer/amplifier, that the S/PDIF Out is connected

to an external digital audio device capable of receiving S/PDIF, or that the

TDIF connector is connected to an external digital audio device capable of

receiving TDIF. If using the S/PDIF input, make sure that you have

selected S/PDIF instead of Analog as your input source.

TDIF’s monitor mixer device, be sure that the mixer’s faders, solo and

mute controls are set up properly.

Possible Cause 3: Improper connections to audio accessories.

Problem: Repetitious Sound.

Possible Cause: An IRQ resource conflict. Often this will result in
